Hey fellows, USCIS posted update on processing times. California Service Centers have posted that they have processed I-130 petitions for spouses filed on or before July 15, 2007. Vermont is June 6, 2007.

Nebraska doesn't process I-130 applications, only CSC and VSC do.

Please let me know if there are any other Oct filers still waiting for a NOA1???...I still didn't get mine and my check has not been cashed...I am about to send my application again but to the Chicago lockbox what do think??...I need some advice...Bad thing too I didn't make a copy of my check so I am not sure how I can cancel it in case they do end up finding it...

jgay80,

I really am not sire what to tell you. The issuing of NOA1's has been unpredictable since August of last year, so it could be very well that they have your application, its just that they haven't gotten to sending NOA1. I am not sure if you should send another form or not, cause if you do, you will have to cancel your first check which then move you to be over 90 days later than you started. The USCIS is honoring the receivec date, not the NOA1 date, so if you start over....say today...and it gets to them tomorrow, you will now be a Jan/Feb filer. There were many people on VJ that didnt get an NOA1 until 5 months after they sent it, yet they were still honored in the queue of getting their NOA2 by the received date. I would look at the VSC timelines under immigration timelines and see just how many VSC filers are still waiting for NOA1's before you cancel that check. Also if you remember your check number you should be able to cancel it. you should have made at least 1 additional copy of your entire I130 package per the instructions.

I hope I go home today and see my NOA1...Question: Do they usually cash the check first or do you receive the NOA1 first?

[MsZ 6]

I received my NOA1 first but a lot of people have seen the check cashed before they rec'd their NOA so either/or.

i am in the same boat is you.I have yet to recieve a NOA1,i sent my application in onSeptember 24th,I am also torn what to do,should i send in another form,it is strange,many from November are now getting their NOA1.

today i called USCIS they they are only on Septembers forms not DECEMBERS,and i asked her,then why does the lockbox say they are on december,and why are there people in November getting thier NOA1....no answer from her....just the same ol".......WAIT !!!!!!

I spoke with someone today at USCIS and they told me the way it works is that Service Centers are just piling I-130s in a box and sending them off to the Chicago Lockbox. There is no order whatsoever. He even told me when it reaches the Chicago lockbox they are just picking up boxes as they come not looking to see which box has an earlier receive date compared to the others and since vermont and california are both sending their I-130s to Chicago lockbox they don't really have the time to look for dates; they are just trying to get rid of them as soon as possible. He said they just pick up the box that is closest to them. I think this is the first legit answer I got from USCIS because it total put things in perspective. It makes more sense why some people in November got theres and some people in Sept didn't. Its not fair though. He told me to just imagine working a mailroom full of envelopes; are you A)going to take your time to sort them in order or B)put everything in a box to cut time. He said majority of the workers are going to do B. Sad but try I'll probably do B too. So I guess just sit tight and wait and hopefully they get done with all application by mid Feb. like I heard they probably do. So I guess I am also saying it doesn't really make sense to send in another app just yet.
